They like donuts best but don't get often, they like bagels and she sheep won't eat bagels.
My boarder likes to feed them burger buns and the pigs get the hotdog buns.

This cheap feed works very well wish I could get in on this but before you butchet .in order to get better quality meat you will have to feed corn for a couple -3 weeks to firm up the fat for good bacon and better steaks .this is what the old farmers called cleaning them up so they will be fit to eat

That's a really good buy, now you can feed them 7% of their body weight!
